Sunday February 11Th,1996 Vol. 3, Issue 8 “If You Torture the Data Enough, It Will Confess.”
Sunday February 11th,1996 Vol. 3, issue 8 “If you torture the data enough, it will confess.” Warning,Achtung,Attenzionne: the ambient randomness and bizarre nonreferences contained herein grossly exceed any and all prerequisites for a contiguous and linear literary experience; you 'ave been warned. You rush from your room to class, from class to class, from class to go eat, from eating to your room, and your day is over in a blink. Soon it's your week, month and quarter gone the same way. In four years you look back and you simply can not figure out where the time went. So where does all of your time go? Of course you must know by now that we have been thinking hard about this very topic (and no, your time does not travel through a vortex straight to us. We simply maintain rock steady grade point averages of 1.2 while coming up with random thoughts to amuse ourselves). We figure there are some pretty obvious cul- prits who until now have eluded the larger public’s detection. Here's the Most Wanted List: •Santa Claus ("..you have a very nasty habit of surviving"). We can buy the fact that he can make toys for all the world's children in one year (hooray for non-existent North Pole labor laws!), but delivering all the goods in one night? Forget about it. He must suck up some of everyone's free time and use it all on his mid- night run. Think of losing your time as a trade-off for one magical, feel-good day (maybe he uses quantum physics; after all, if you believe in Santa, it's no great stretch to believe in quantum physics). -
An Ethnographic Study of Shared Information Practices in an Online Cosplay Community
“I found what I needed, which was a supportive community”: An ethnographic study of shared information practices in an online cosplay community 1 By Emily Vardell (ORCID: 0000-0002-3037-4789) 2 Ting Wang (ORCID: 0000-0002-1423-4559) 3 Paul Thomas (ORCID: 0000-0002-5596-7951) Scheduled to be published as: Vardell, E., Wang, T., & Thomas, P. (2021). “I found what I needed, which was a supportive community”: An ethnographic study of shared information practices in an online cosplay community. Journal of Documentation. https://doi.org/10.1108/JD-02-2021-0034 Abstract Purpose – This study explored the information practices of cosplayers, as well as the social norms, social types, and information infrastructure of an online cosplay Facebook group, the Rey Cosplay Community (RCC). Design/methodology/approach – To better understand individual behavior, the authors made use of ethnographic methods and semi-structured interviews. Observation of the RCC was combined with information gleaned from select participant interviews. Findings – The results suggest that the RCC can be conceived of as an information community where fans obtain and share information about cosplay costume making. Sufficient and well-organized information and positive community culture greatly help community members make their costumes. Originality/value – This works serves as a bridge between fan studies and information science research in its exploration of online communities, shared information practices, and creating non-toxic virtual environments. It also lends support to the idea that positivity, respect for community rules, and a tight-knit connection between members play essential roles in building a non-toxic fan and information community. -

About the Moviemakers page 33 3 Synopsis Combining the visionary imaginations of two premier fantasists, director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and author Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Coraline is a wondrous and thrilling, fun and suspenseful adventure that honors and redefines two moviemaking traditions. It is a stop-motion animated feature – and, as the first one to be conceived and photographed in stereoscopic 3-D, unlike anything moviegoers have ever experienced before. Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) is a girl of 11 who is feisty, curious, and adventurous beyond her years. She and her parents (Teri Hatcher, John Hodgman) have just relocated from Michigan to Oregon. Missing her friends and finding her parents to be distracted by their work, Coraline tries to find some excitement in her new environment. She is befriended – or, as she sees it, is annoyed – by a local boy close to her age, Wybie Lovat (Robert Bailey Jr.); and visits her older neighbors, eccentric British actresses Miss Spink and Forcible (Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French) as well as the arguably even more eccentric Russian Mr. -
